Cool Too many cars, not enough time!

Hey everybody, I wanted to check in as it's been a while since I've posted much on AZ. I wanted to make sure that nobody put in a missing persons report for me.

I've been up to my eyeballs with projects, work, and cars lately, and haven't had much "online" time.

Here it is the beginning of winter in Ohio (when I thought I would be slowing down), and I'm more backed up with work than normal.

I thought I'd give you all a sneek peek of what's to come though.

I just finished up a Ferrari 599 this past weekend:





And have a few more backed up waiting for me:


Pictured are a new Ferrari California, an F355 (in for major surgery), and a Maserati Spyder. Not pictured, but waiting are also an F430 and a Scuderia.

Like the title says...too many cars, not enough time!

So stay tuned as I'll have some great eye candy (laced with Italian testosterone) here in the near future.

Do you need an apprentice to give you a hand?

The 355 is a nice car ... I get to do my son-in-laws all the time .. he has a 1995 with just over 20,000 miles on it.


I wish all I had to do was quality like that.

Yes, they are beautiful cars indeed. The California in particular is amazing.

If you're used to the 355, then you know just how much "fun" the rear deck lid is to work on! This one requires major surgery, and I expect at least 20 hours worth of work on my part.

Sure they're cool cars, but they are much more of a PITA to work on than "normal" cars.

It's Chemical Guys EZ Creme Glaze...used after polishing, and before applying a sealant.

Ya takes as long on the rear deck as the rest of the car and god forbid if you get polish on the black mesh. The other tough part is the bottom door louvers.

I know these cars are more work than a normal, regular car. But hey, what a visual resume they make for you!

Man Todd. I don't know.............

I think the only way I could see myself doing this gig is if I was able to drive one of these beauties home.

Sugar overload from too much eye candy!

If you ever need some help, PM me, I'm looking for a job! (I live pretty close to Columbus)
Working with those nice cars has to be way better than working at Finish-line or a restaurant
